As I said above, most of this stuff is not useful to home labbers.
I mean if you could get something like a H200 NVL (this is the normal pcie version) that would be useful. But most of these datacenters are using something like an H200 SXM5 module which only works in HGX/DGX GPU baseboards.
Chinese sellers on ebay have been making sxm2 mezzanines that use standard slimsas connections for a while. They even go up to sxm4-5. I have dual nvlinked v100s with their giant 4u tower coolers, some arctic 92mm fans and PTM for the TIM and they never break 70c under load for my personal use.
They definitely aren’t the flashiest, but local LLMs have come a long way in a short time to the point where they are quite nice to work with.
I will be scooping up GPUs by the bucketful when the time comes
They would rather crush the GPUs than let us have them

I didn’t know any of this. Great … now I have another rabbit hole to go down! 🤣
Seriously though, thanks for that. I’ll go check it out.
It’s quite a ride lol. There’s a group of people on the level1techs forum trying to get mi250x OAM units working on similar hardware.
I made a post about my own lab earlier this year too: https://lemmy.world/post/47291115
i did not need to see any of this… 😳
This looks amazing.
Necessity is the mother of invention. I expect a bridge by the time we’ve finished… Uh… Cleaning the guillotine.
Or maybe we make the guillotine out of the equipment. That would be fitting.
